I have been receiving services and working full-time.  I would not have been able to work a full-time position without services. Service Coordination Unlimited has provided me with quality services to allow me to continue to work and remain in my home. I have a fabulous Service Coordinator and I have also been given the opportunity to work as a Service Coordinator with Service Coordination Unlimited. I have definitely been blessed with a fabulous service coordination agency and employer.
